Write your comment about The Chance Of Humming poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi
Adhithian k m: The poem "The chance of humming" says The importants of living in the present.life must be in the spirit of a long distance runner,enjoying the absorbing the beautiful sights along the journey.The journey of human life moves on in the hope of becoming one with God. If the human mind gets preoccupied, either with pangs of the past, or with concerns for the future, then the spontaneity and ease of the journey can get disturbed. In other words, if the mind rebels against the flow of time, against the flow of human evolution, the progress of the species can get stunted. Travelling along the bank and at the same pace can also be understood as the breadth of mind and openness of the heart to respond to and accept change. The faster the mind accepts change and gets accustomed to it, the smoother and easier shall be life afterwards.
Veeru: Don't dwell on past or not be anxious about future ...just live in present and know the "power of NOW ".
Gilna kuriakose: The poem emphaysis the importance of living in present and the poet says that living in present makes life humming.
